Gmail now supports POP and SMTP
German computer magazine PC Welt reports that it is from now on possible to access your Gmail-Account via POP3 and even use Gmail's SMTP server.
Unfortunately, my account does not support this feature yet. The feature is available, if under "Settings" the field "Forwarding and POP" appears. There you can click on "enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on".
The pop server is then pop.gmail.com (SSL supported, port 995) and the smtp server is smtp.gmail.com (authentification needed, TLS/SSL supported, port 465 or 587). The username is your Gmail address, including the "@gmail.com". The password is you Gmail password.
